Analyzing documents with a Watson Explorer Content Analytics pipeline
You can analyze documents with a Watson Explorer Content Analytics pipeline and review the resulting annotations in Content Analytics Studio. For example, you can determine how modifications that you make in Watson Explorer Content Analytics affect the annotations that are produced by the pipeline.
Before you begin
Before you can analyze documents with a Watson Explorer Content Analytics pipeline, you must configure a Watson Explorer Content Analytics server connection file.
About this task
You can send sample documents in your Content Analytics Studio project to a Watson Explorer Content Analytics server to be annotated by the document processing pipeline that is associated with a particular collection. The resulting annotations are then returned to Content Analytics Studio for your review and analysis.
You can analyze a single text file or a collection of documents with the Watson Explorer Content Analytics pipeline. Analyzing a single document is useful to identify the UIMA annotation types that are currently generated by the pipeline on the Watson Explorer Content Analytics server. You can annotate a collection of files to see the results of the pipeline on a larger set of documents. The results can be saved and compared with results from other versions of the pipeline to analyze how performance is affected by modifications that you made in Watson Explorer Content Analytics, such as changes to the analytic resources.
- You can determine how the existing Watson Explorer Content Analytics pipeline compares with the UIMA pipeline that you are developing in Content Analytics Studio.
- After you develop and test your UIMA pipeline in Content Analytics Studio, you can export the pipeline to Watson Explorer Content Analytics and verify that the annotation results are as you expect.
Procedure
To annotate documents on a Watson Explorer Content Analytics server

What to do next
If you analyzed a collection of documents, you can click the Save icon in the Collection Analysis view to save the results as an ANNOTATION file in the Results directory. To compare the current results to a saved annotation file that was generated by a previous version of the pipeline on the Watson Explorer Content Analytics server or by a UIMA pipeline in Content Analytics Studio, click the Compare annotations icon.
